Episode Six: The Dyno Run [Gen3 Unpacked] | Supercars 2021 

Larko this is top shelf content for every motor sport fan. World class content for a best is in class motorsport series. Now I understand how you guys get the racing so close. Just brilliant. Well done you & the V8SCs. Love the production values too. Can’t wait to see how they compete and on track performance.

WoW even if you are Red or Blue this is VERY impressive engineering imo ...THANKYOU for the insight 10/10...

Congrats to everyone involved. Now looking forward to seeing the cars in action!

FANtastic, thanks supercars and thanks Larko. Excited to see them race!

Oooh yeah !!! Bring it on ! I can't wait to see these things is real racing conditions. Thanks Larko you ledgend for showing us the time,money and effort put in to bring us TOP CLASS racing. Cheers from Penrith nsw 🇭🇲👍🇭🇲

Couldn't get them any closer! Now on to the other stuff like Aero and all that goes with the body shape . Fantastic video Larko BTW ! I just wanted to lick that Ford rocker cover 🤤

would love to get clear audio of a full dyno run, to hear the revs rise from idle ALL the way up

I even said WOW seeing those power curves! Amazing work V8SC, keeping very real!

awesome access and looking forward to Gen 3 cheers!! 👍

Wow thats very impressive i still think the FORD coyte banger is the ducks nuts go FORD

very very impressive show of engineering supercars, well done

A video with Larko and engines? Yes please!

I'm really excited , can't wait for the new cars . Wish it was next year .. bring on the racing 😀

Well done mate 🇦🇺👏👏👏🏁

Nothing but up in this awesome sport

Amazing piece of engineering. Not many if any categories have been able to do this with so vastly different engines.

Well done Larko they look good and sound Great! 👍👍

Good stuff Larko... hope to see your gen 3 heat gun next season....

The proof will be when they exit hell corner exactly together and neither pull away from the other up mountain straight.

Great work

Well done 👌🏼

Nice work.

Technical parity looks good. But what will be the measure of success for Gen3? More brands joining the sport? It's not looking very good on that front so far as it....

Looks good. Is there much change with air temperature ie at 10degrees is one better, at 35 degrees?

Great job.

Good video, I’ll take a guess at the ‘IP’, or more to the point ‘governing’ the engine that has higher output in original form... ... with a supercars sealed ECU they could do various re-maps to lower the output of the ‘better’ engine to suite the other engine’s ‘as-is’, could even be done with the throttle-by-wire map... (can match the torque curve exactly) hopefully the engines still have wide-open throttle, otherwise that great sound might be compromised. Yes some more audio of exhaust!

looking good.

I'd like to see it become a big block series of sorts with current engines. The Ford 7.3 Godzilla against the GM 6.2, both pushrod engines with plenty potential. As far as parity goes, these have electronic throttle bodies which can easily be controlled to limit outputs. Gen 3 still has no official start date and looks like the same old defunct Holden commodore will run again for next year. Come on lads, get it together.

if the engine output is the same, and each team wont know which engine they have... why dont you release the figures?

Imagine if Larko wasn't involved if they didn't rehire him after firing him last year this little series would be no where near as good/well explained Great work Larko!

That coyote might surprise a few when there is a real hill in front of it.

Only thing I’m not sure about is the quad cam vs single cam. Does the quad cam end up having less stress on it in that area or is it more suspect to failure due to more parts? Should be interesting seeing these engines in action next year and great that they are in some way related to what many have in their own cars

Any chance we could have the two engine sounds from the dyno available as a ringtone, cause they would be great. I'd even pay for them and the money goes to a cancer charity or the Steven Richards Trust. What do you say Suoercars?

I hope we will see the Nissan Z with its twin turbo V6 to join Supercars!

I am totally excited about the supercars in 2023, way to mark. Supercars is way better then nascar.

i might have missed this in a previous episode, but how much does each engine weigh. the power and torque curves are tight, but miliseconds count, and going by the screen shots , its advantage ford out of the corners, or am i missing something

Great content… always like hearing Larko especially on “In gins”… at least he isn’t calling the “moh dars”.

This series is over? Nooooo...

Why are the numbers secret??

Ive heard that the mustang comes with s spare pair of shoes

If they’re the same, what’s the point 🤷‍♂️

Why aren't we seeing more of the gm motor?

Pulling down conrod straight at Bathurst,the coyote is at a big disadvantage,its falling over at 7300 rpm,where it should have been the other way round,coyotes are known for there top end power,always got give dark side an advantage at Bathurst

They didn't get these two engines exactly the same the Coyote has a restrictor that drops 30hp and caused throttle response issues...

Yawn. Being the same isn’t always the most entertaining. I find it more interesting when certain vehicles have their strengths in opposing areas.

So you start the music just as you show the engine start it's run, just why?? Like ffs I don't understand isn't the video about the effing motor?? And if they are both the same output then what's the point?!

Wats the figures?

Hopefully rev limiter comes in before gm power up top.

Would like to see some true horsepower figures!

Don't muck around, drop them in the old bodies for 2022 I reckon

ok so what the HP OF BOTH MOTORS IF YOUR GOING TO BE SO UP FRONT ?

Even the Yanks haven't got a Larko , we taught them how to televise , but they still haven't caught on .

Rev quicker than the other?

Ford >>> GM

theres no reason they cant run a windsor.. there enough smart cookies

Seems like a lot of work to create two engines of different spec with identical output and fuel consumption. Why not just have a spec engine??

Yep! I'll quit my Bitch'n after watching that... Black line looks healthy so I'm happy ☺

Down thumb not showing the horse power.

They should use 900 HP.

I'll stick to watching the Masters series much better than this parity silhouette stuff.

I don’t think they will sound as good as the current engines

It's a start. But until it's in a car on a dyno, you can't talk parity.

Get ready for a ford ass kicking from camaro

got a shock when realised it was idleing while larko was speaking. Wow.! This is where we're headed..BORING The objective is to introduce more of the road car.. WHY ??? Nothing else is relative to the road car not even the panels. Wake up supercars! Scrap the data, cap hp to 7 - 750 with freedom how you get it, h pat stick shift, live axle and may the best team win! Aussie touring car racing!

Gm has more power up top.

Hmm, yet to see any critical comments, seems everyone wants to see 40 taxis all exactly the same racing around

please take aero off the cars please

Well i dont what they have done to coyote,somethings seems wrong,as an owner of both n/a and supercharged coyotes,the n/a when modded only peaks 8-8500 rpm and what i see of the graf the coyote was nose diving at around 7300 where as the other boat anchor,that doesnt normally rev that high is holding up to 7500.Even the new gt500 when tuned,standard cams picks up big hp between 7500 and 8000

Stick with the current engines, why do we want to make two different engines the same, we already have a good thing, stick with it, and I'm not convinced these budget engines will deliver the same WOW Factor, but anyway just my opinion, but as for this paddle shift BS, we go that way, Supercars will be off my fan list, TCM or one of the other categories will be my focus of interest, just my opinion people, thanks for reading...

id rather see devolpment allowed for teams in the motor department

When you limit all the good the tech does what do you expect. Really what's a achieved is the category remains as boring as f'k but costs less to run a team.. So basically you've taken all the good the vct does to make it match the static pattern of the LS. On the positive side, at least the engines do resemble a production touring car.

Yeah, still don't believe it.. But anyways.. That's what we're told.. Lol

The cars are on the way out whats the point !

They look like cheap crate motors. No ITB’s no rpms these are supposed to be race engines and yes they should be different. They should be purpose built race engines given the cars are purpose built. Why not use NASCAR blocks , heads and cranks and let the engine builders develop them with bespoke con rods, pistons and valves?. Also, race engines should rev. I’m the early 90’s they were already approaching 9000rpms. These engines should be revving to 10000rpms and have CRs of 13-14:1. The materials and parts already exist to achieve this.

why whats the point its industry std cmon

What a wast of money

Remember when racing in Australia was good, when we had more than just boring V8's..... yeah so do I. Gen 3 will still be rubbish compared to ATCC days. Open it up to Turbo's and multiclass racing again then I'll watch your sport, until then.... No thanks

BTC has some of the best racing and has heaps of manufacturers. Rules are simple but allow for different cars, power plants and which end drives the car. By having differences it allows each car to gets around the track differently and makes for great racing. Some are better through corners and some are better in a straight line etc. They use a weight handicap to give every one a chance of winning if they are a good enough drivers and they get different cars winning each race and round. They also allow a bit of rubbing, which Supercars frowns upon if you scratch another car. They can't all be Jim Richards! Parity racing is so boring across the planet that motor racing is losing audiences everywhere. Look at the GT racing for great racing with different cars and you see racing, passing and drivers driving to the advantage of each vehicle. We had group A and got rid of it because it didn't fit our Holdens and fords well. So get over it. Why are we so hell bent on American muscle when every kid wants to drive a BMW, Merc, Audi, Lambo, WRX, etc. European and Japanese, and soon Korean and China. God forbid!!! The only guys I see driving Mustangs and Camaro's are old farts like me, but like many old fart, even we have moved on to Euro cars. Supercars has no chance in getting other manufactures. Like another comment, they didn't support Volvo, Merc or Nissan, because the guys running Supercars can't get on the modern band wagon. The world is changing, Supercars, so you need to change as well or you'll go the way of the Dodo bird as well!

Many years of misleading and incomplete information has left this series and your promotional work to anybody who cares without any creditbility, please test my opinion

Still supercars is sucking the money out of the sport ....it taking all this money and still no cars were the car will i ever show up over 2 years and still no car ,,,,come on

so basically they have taken a relatively modern tech engine and crippled it to perform the same as a prehistoric push-rod engine

Pathetic they are just shy of 500 kW, I hate this type of concocted formula racing. Let the teams build there own engines so the better engineers win.

Ever wondered with just 2 engine builders KRE building the GM engines and Mostech building all the ford engines there is no variation in torque curves and fixed power outputs the only overtaking is when 10 cars slam the brakes on into the first lap corners there be less cars in the field. It a stupid formula they not have the different vehicle characteristics to make more overtaking ! Get real supercars it’s boring enough now

Yawn
